<p>I studied at Rochester College of Art where I achieved an NDD in Graphic Design which led to a career in designing children and adult books.</p>
<p>On retirement I returned to painting and attended adult education courses at Sywell, led by Sarah Pendred, which I continue to enjoy today.</p>
<p>Consequently my work reflects the local area as many of my paintings are of beauty spots in Northamptonshire, depicted in a slightly abstract graphic style, emphasing colour and shape in nature. Gouache (opaque water colour) is the medium I most enjoy using and I have achieved several 'Best in Show' awards through exhibiting with Network Arts.</p>
